The absolute best wedding photographer out there!
Sam was absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day. Taking pictures is not always my favorite thing to do, but Sam takes all the stress away and does a beautiful job. Her upbeat personality was great for our wedding party, her second shooter worked great with the groom and groomsmen. She had our photos edited and sent back to us quickly. She captured our day perfectly. When I look at our pictures, it's like I'm reliving the day all over again. I can't say enough kind words about Sam's photography. You (hopefully) only get married once, so you want to make sure the pictures are captured by someone you trust. Look no further than Sam O'Neal! -

The absolute best photographer!
Samantha was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! From the start with our engagements, to the BLAST that we had with my bridals and an unforgettable wedding! Her and her team did perfect! For someone like me who is shy infront of a camera… Samantha made me feel so comfortable! There is not one picture that I don’t love. I will use her for ANY picture needs I have !! You should too😊 -

Without her my wedding would not have been the same!
Samantha is amazing! During our engagement session she helped calm our nerves and taught us how to pose. The day of our wedding she helped me and my husband remain clam and relaxed. Samantha kept us on schedule but also went with the flow when I wanted to take picture in my venues vintage bathtub! She became a part of our family and now she is going to be my brother’s wedding photographer! -

Samantha was absolutely amazing! We loved everything about our experience and photos! My husband is not one for pictures but after working with her, he said “she’s hired for life”! Samantha is easy to work with, we laughed through a very windy engagement photo session with her and our wedding pictures were phenomenal. She is very easy to communicate with and is super flexible with scheduling. You will not be disappointed with her! -

The most amazing photographer you could ask for!
Samantha was the best photographer we could’ve asked for! She has such a warm personality and a great sense of humor; she immediately made us feel super comfortable and made engagement and wedding pictures a breeze. She was great at posing and directing us so we could get the best pictures possible. Just as important, all the pictures she took were absolutely stunning. Samantha was super professional & always on schedule and punctual; she made sure to communicate everything so we knew what was going on. She returned our pictures faster than expected and kept me in the loop during her editing timeline. I can’t gush enough over how wonderful Samantha is and how fun and comfortable she was to work with, as well as how her beautiful her pictures are. Samantha is definitely a photographer I’ll be recommending to anyone who is looking! -

Sam photographed our wedding and Vietnamese tea ceremony this past February (2022). My husband and I came in from out of town, and because of the pandemic weren't able to come in on an earlier occasion to do engagements or anything with Sam. She was able to quickly figure out how to communicate with us to get us to pose and do whatever she wanted from us. And we are NOT photogenic. But Sam was just super easy to get along with and an expert with posing, so we were able to get some AMAZING photos out of it. We also had a lot of family and family friends who insisted on playing photographer, but Sam kept her cool and was able to get incredible shots despite constantly getting shoved (literally) out of the way. Lastly, Sam was the only vendor to follow along with our request for all of our vendors to wear a mask throughout the day. Whatever your stance is on these things, I think this small action speaks a lot to how Sam was willing to go out of her way to make us comfortable and happy. Sam was by far one of our best choices in wedding planning, and I highly encourage you to choose her too! -

Samantha was recommended to us by the venue we booked at and we are so happy we got her! She took our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, and of course our wedding day photos. All of which are AMAZING! Her editing style is very beautiful and she always provides us with tons of photos. Samantha is easy to work with and be comfortable around which makes getting good photos that much easier! She will give you her honest opinion and work through the awkward moments with you while turning them into fun times. She is uber responsive and super flexible- our engagement pictures even ended up being a spur of the moment beach day and they turned out in such a breathtaking way!
At our wedding, Samantha kept all the photos running seamlessly and efficiently which was a feat because we got married on the day it ended up being crazy windy outside. Even with the wind we got great outdoor photos thanks to Samantha. She is also very knowledgeable about weddings and gave us so much advice and information that made such a big difference when we were deciding how to maneuver our big day! I never felt like I was a bother to her when I reached out with questions which says a lot about her personality and character in my opinion!
We would 11/10 recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a photographer whether it be for a wedding, birthday, family, or anything in between! We plan on using her for all of our future Christmas photos/ family photos/ and whatever else may come up because she was just that good.Samantha O'Neal Photography's reply:
Taylor!! I'm in tears!
You guys are so sweet and I am more than happy you chose me to be your photographer! I loved getting to know you. Being such a big part of your day was the biggest blessing! I'm super excited for what the future holds for the Johnsons! Love yall! -

Samantha shot our engagement pictures and we got them back so fast and they were beautiful! It was a no brainer that she would also do our wedding. We got sneak peeks two days later and I am so excited to see the rest! She was extremely professional and got all the shots I was wanting -

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I am so thankful that I found Samantha on Facebook. She did our engagement pictures, and I just knew she had to do our wedding photos too. Her and her second shooter we hired for the wedding were extremely professional, fun and showed up on time. I am so grateful for her, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful, high-quality pictures -

Where do I begin?! I have known Samantha for a long time. Our families went to the same church when I was younger, so to say it was awesome to have her as my photographer would be an understatement. She made the whole experience so easy and comfortable… from the engagement session to wedding day! She captures everything and is so good about capturing the specific things you request as well. We will be using her for all photography needs FOREVER.Samantha O'Neal Photography's reply:
Aww Lauren!! I am so honored to be your family photographer FOREVER!! Being part of you and Audie’s big day meant the world to me! -

Madison Sent on 09/23/2019Best experience ever!
Samantha is absolutely amazing! From the beginning she has been so helpful and very easy to communicate with. We just took our engagement photos with her yesterday and I was so impressed. We were slightly nervous going into it, but she made us feel very comfortable from the very beginning. She was SO much fun to work with and made us feel like naturals in front of the camera...which we are not! Samantha knows what she is doing- from knowing great locations/lighting and helping us with posing, to keeping us laughing and having fun the whole time. I would recommend her to everyone and cannot wait to use her for our wedding and for any other photos we may need in the future. 10/10!!! -
